DeSoto County Courthouse, County courthouse in Arcadia, Florida
The red brick courthouse at 115 East Oak Street features symmetrical design elements, grand columns, and a central position within the Arcadia district.
Architects Bonfoey & Elliott of Tampa designed this Classical Revival structure in 1912, which became DeSoto County's third courthouse upon completion in 1913.
The courthouse serves as the primary location for legal proceedings and civic activities, maintaining its original purpose for over a century in DeSoto County.
The building operates weekdays from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, with free parking available in surrounding lots and streets for visitors attending court proceedings.
The structure's intricate brickwork and architectural details represent an early example of government buildings constructed during Florida's rapid development period.
